2013-11-10compatibility: extendable config space and pci cfgmstsirkin
We often specify specific layout of config space, in the past drivers took this to mean "there will be no other fields" and failed devices where config space was larger. To avoid such issues in the future, document that drivers should only check size is >= the required value.

2013-10-31Configuration (read) atomicity.rusty
Aka issue VIRTIO-35. This is solved per transport: 1) PCI: use the 8 bit reserved field. Assume that if you really change that fast, you'll do it lazily on config space read. 2) MMIO (already solved by v2 update) 3) CCW: no transport changes. They always read/write the entire thing.
